Things werent so peachy in Cathys life before Victor broke up with her. Her father died unexpectedly, shes failing school, and her best friend is mad at her. But when Cathy decides to investigate Victors reasons for ending their relationship, things suddenly go from bad to very, very, very bad as her findings produce more questions than answers. For instance, what does the death of Victors co-worker, the strange mark that appeared on Cathys arm, and the surreal behavior of several Chinese elders have to do with it?Through Cathys unique and irresistible voice-and lots of proof in the form of letters, photographs, date book entries, telephone numbers readers can call, websites they can access, as well as secrets only a careful reader will be able to decipher-readers will enter a strange and fascinating world where things often arent how they appear.
